Feedback on Heidenau
 

Hi there everybody.
Is there anyone with some feedback on the Heidenau brand of tyres.
Need to fit a new front and back tyre and heard from adv forums tis is good buy for 50/50 sort of riding.
Any feedback and experience with this welcome please.
Cheers

Sorry mate never heard of them.

Lots of posts about these on advrider and some on ukgser. Don't think they cope with mud/gloop but then it is a 50/50 tyre.

I ran with the K60's for a while, can't say they were worth fitting. As previously mentioned they don't work in Mud and they don't last if you use them a lot on the road, so to me all they did was look like a more off road tyre than the tourance's did, grip wise I never road on anything where the K60's worked where the tourances wouldn't have worked just as well.

I'm beginning to think that the whole concept of a 50/50 tyre is purely a styling exercise rather than offering any real practical benefit, although I stand waiting to be corrected on that.

Stevied1969, i think your statement should be the last/final word...period. I agree. It is either on or off-road. It is a pity though......

Will have to do with my trusted brands then...front Conti TKC and back Maxxis 6006.
Very happy with this combo. Ready to play!!!
Handling suppurb on gravel, sand, mud.
Maxxis is cheap and last a good 6000- 8000km, depends on my driving.
My previous TKc lasted 13 000km.

GB, what prices do you pay for the Maxis and the TKC, I just but a Kenda on(BTW made by MAXXIS) but find them very unstable on tar?

R600 for Maxxis 6006 at back and TKC was R1200.00 front.

I had a pair of K60s on a Transalp 700. No complaints. Good price, good milage and Ok on gravel trails. No use in serious mud but it is a 50/50 tyre. Good value for money.
